I have some suggestions:
First off, throw out that piece of garbage book by Atkins. Its a dishonest, unscientific piece of crap. The best low carb book I can suggest would be "protein power" which explains how low carb really works without implying its magic. Another extremely scientific book is "the ketogenic diet" by lyle macdonald.
Basically, low carb works by keeping your insulin from spiking, which can cause hunger binges. Fat keeps you fuller for longer and so you eat less. Its that simple. It can also help build muscle mass which will increase calorie burn.

That's the problem with Atkins and Nutritionists - if it does work and
is safe, it means that they have been "talking out of their posteriors"
for years. Given that, they are hardly likely to endorse it, especially
if they have links financially to the conventional slimming industry.
Atkins seems to be getting back to a sort of hunter/gatherer type of
diet that we probably evolved with, they would have eaten plenty of meat
with some roots and leafy veg, occasional berries and fruits in season
but probably little carbs as they had access to no potatoes and very
little grain.
(sits back and waits to be proved wrong...)

How you going to research it?
Lot of the Nutritionists say it's bad for you. Some say it's the best
diet
you can be on to lose weight. Some are saying you should signup with
them
and do there diet that is some Hybrid of the Atkins.
Everyone is doing it and its seems to be working. There are only a few
cases
of bad side affects and nobody has been on it long enough to see what
the
long term affects may be.
My wife is nursing now and as soon as she is done we are going on the
Atkins
diet. The hardest part for me will be the Breads and Dinner and Coffee
coffee coffee.

Careful. My mom had a "cardiac event" which we think was due to her
starting
an Atkin's like diet. It's also very hard on your kidneys (too much
protein). Best to do some research to see how it might affect you.
